All You Need to Know About Easter Camps

Easter camps are typically arranged as two-week camps. The first week spans from the beginning of the week leading up to Good Friday, while the second week starts with Easter Monday. While many camps are structured as 4-day camps, excluding Good Friday and Easter Monday, there are several camps that offer 5-day camps for each week. If you need those days to be covered, ensure that you book a 5-day camp.

The closer the location of the camp to where you are based, the easier it is to do the drop-off and pick-up. The beauty of HaveFunKids is that it might list a camp close to your location that you are not even aware of. You can use the Location filter on our Search Camps page to select the entire county or specific districts to narrow your search.

Easter camps are one of the great ways of making new friends. Being in a similar age group can help your child’s adaptation to the camp environment. Most of the camps divide children into juniors (ages 4-8) and seniors (ages 9+). Some camps have strict age restrictions due to the activity types, while others can accommodate children in different age groups. If you are not sure about whether the camp activities would be suitable for your child, it is a good idea to check with the camp organiser before booking. You can easily communicate with the camp organiser using the “Message Camp Owner” function on HaveFunKids. You don’t need to search for their contact details, log in to your email account to send an email, we will simply sort it out for you!

Is your child passionate about an activity, enjoys trying new things, or is in search of something new? Easter camps are a good opportunity if your children want to explore new interests, especially if they are unsure if they’ll enjoy them. One week is long enough for your children to make a decision, but not too long to make them bored in case the chosen activity is not their cup of tea.

The variety of activities during Easter break is often richer compared to February/Christmas breaks. There are numerous categories to choose from, such as horse riding, art, hockey, drama, music, multi-sport, tennis, basketball, STEM, cookery etc. that you can multi-select during your search on the Search Camps page. Additionally, there are a good number of activities hidden under the “Other” category like fencing, mountain biking, trampoline jumping, martial arts, yoga, and mindfulness. Make sure that you explore all your options before booking your camp.

Based on the selected category, you need to choose suitable clothing for your kids to wear during the Easter camps. For art camps, it is good to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting messy and can sacrifice. For multi-sport camps, comfortable runners would help your children move flexibly. Some camps primarily take place outdoors, while others offer a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities at the same time.

Considering that the weather conditions might change quickly, it is always good for your child to have a raincoat.

Some of the camps offer an early bird discount for Easter Camp bookings. Most of the companies expect the Easter camp booking to be completed in February/early March for parents to avail of the discount. HaveFunKids announces those offers on Instagram/Facebook social media accounts whenever possible. You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook to learn about many camps through one social media account.

Two weeks of Easter break also come with a discount offer if two weeks are booked at the same time. If you are sure that you have found the right Easter camp for your child, why not book two weeks as a bundle and save some money?

Easter would not be an Easter without any egg hunts! Most of the camps offer Easter games, egg hunting and a party on the last day of the camp. Some camps offer camp activities with an Easter theme. Lego camps where your child can make a huge Easter bunny, cooking camps where they can prepare Easter-themed cookies, and art camps full of Easter decorations are just a few of your hundred options.
